Let's just say I'm intrigued with the new Wesley Snipes sci-fi thriller THE RECALL. I'm not an old man just yet, but I really can't understand what most of the press release I was just sent was saying.

I mean, I am aware of VR becoming a thing (I even own a headset myself that I never once wear ever – it's pretty cool), and I have heard rumblings of this whole three screens, ultra widescreen, immersive experience thingy, but I can't make heads or tails of what it all means to you the consumer.

So I'm just going to leave all this info here. Enjoy.

THE RECALL rundown via press release:

The Recall is breaking new ground for immersive cinema experiences, as the first movie shot natively for Barco Escape to release in the new three-screen, panoramic theaters and one of the first movies to shoot a Virtual Reality short starring the film’s lead actors.

Minds Eye Entertainment’s sci-fi thriller The Recall will premiere June 2nd, 2017 in Barco Escape’s panoramic, multi-screen theaters across North America. The Recall is breaking new ground for immersive cinema experiences as the first movie shot natively for Barco Escape to release in theaters.

On June 2nd, Minds Eye in association with SkyVR will also preview The Recall’s universe with Abduction, a 12-minute Virtual Reality short featuring Snipes that brings audiences into an alien invasion through the eyes of co-star R.J. Mitte’s (“Breaking Bad”) character. Following the VR release and a two-week exclusive theatrical window in Barco Escape, The Recall will open in select 2D theaters.
